Baby GOATs to GOATs (3/?)

“Virtue and Moir, they won’t win it this year, but they will some day. Soon.”

“They turn the ice into a dance floor.”

“They dance!”

“Exactly. They use the knee bend and the edges to capture the rhythm in the music. And very difficult footwork, most of that was done on one foot.” (x)(x)

”To me, the most important relationship in all skating is the one between the blade and the ice. And the second most important is the body to the music. If you start with these two elements, everything builds on them. That's what takes it to the next level. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean had it. And so do Tessa and Scott. They are pure dancers.” (x)

“It’s refreshing to see someone who goes out there and dances.” (x)

Scott’s spread eagle appreciation post

[indefinableship]

“They dance. They naturally feel the music. They have a sense of the nuances in the dance. That’s something that’s so hard to teach, but that is what makes them so infectious with the audience. They just bring the audience out of the seats and onto the ice with them and include them in the dance and the music.” (x)

Bonus: Talented babies and proud families

Bonus bonus: “They’re also gonna be proud owners of a new Toys“R”Us franchise here in the London area.”

T: I think amidst the chaos of the nerves leading to the moments before our music starts, once we take the ice, and our names are announced, usually that’s when a sense of calm and [Scott chuckles] confidence kind of... does it?

S: Absolutely. We feel it. (x)
